Install displacement toilet dams in toilet reservoirs. Placing water bottles or containers filled with stones in the toilet reservoir conserves water with each flush and makes a huge difference over the course of a year.

Scrape dishes instead of rinsing them before loading the dishwasher.

Take your own bags to the grocery store. If you take plastic bags, use them until they are worn out.

Before buying anything new, first check your local craigslist or other classified advertisements. This can save you money and save space in the landfill.

Replace paper products with reusable ones (use recycled, non-chlorine bleached paper when you do have to use paper).

Print double-sided documents instead of single-sided ones.

Constantly be looking for more ways to be environmentally friendly and encourage those close to you to do the same.

There are so many little things we can do everyday to help sustain our world. It’s easy, all we have to do is make the decision and follow through. Every green act we perform is an act of kindness that we can feel good about doing for our planet.
